I Ran Away to Evil: A Cozy LitRPG Rom-Com

I Ran Away to Evil, Book 1

A reluctant heroine finds unexpected love when she's sent to assassinate a lonely dark lord in the first book of this cozy romantasy series.

Henrietta Doryn has never enjoyed fighting. She'd rather be in the kitchen baking cookies. But it's her duty as Warrior Princess to face off against the forces of evil. As such, she's unceremoniously shooed from her kingdom to go eliminate the all-powerful Dark Lord next door.

Keith Monfort has never enjoyed ruling with an iron fist. He'd prefer to be in his workroom tinkering with practical magic. But it's his duty to lead the Dark Enchanted Forest and the forces of evil. So when Henrietta shows up at his door, he's only too happy to invite her in for tea to talk it out instead.

Can this unlikely pair prevent war between their two kingdoms? Where do their true loyalties lie? And when will they finally confess their growing feelings for each other?

Blending the best of love stories, fairy tales, and whimsy—with just a dash of mystery provided by the soothsaying Madame Potts's enigmatic announcements—I Ran Away to Evil is a deliciously delightful start to a charming romantic-comedy LitRPG series.

The first volume of the hit LitRPG romantasy series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Narration was impressive but annoying at times

I felt like the narrator was yelling at me lol. The male narrator did very impressive voice work but he was so loud that it took me out of the story several times. It began to get annoying about halfway through the book. I almost didn’t finish.

However, the story was cute, lighthearted, and charming. I was looking for something just like this book. I think I will need to find a different medium for the next one.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this

I loved the world-building and subversion of common fantasy tropes. Tia is powerful with physical strength, battle logistics, and intelligence. Kieth is Magically strong and a clever ruler.

The narration is epic

While I felt like it slow at times I enjoyed the storyline, characters, and narration.

Slice of Life in a Fantasy World

A nice feel good fantasy about romance in a world that was ripped right out of a dating sim. Surprisingly funny, with a few riddles I actually hadn't heard before. Gerta steals the show.

Cute story

Very adorable characters and the narrators do a great job! I was very entertained while listening to this!
